A somewhat pointless change since most complaints where mainly about the wasted space and not about the content (or lack thereof) with which this is filled ....

They did give a small amount of the space back. With FW 2.5.2 the top menu does not cover up any of the text, but with FW 2.6.1 it does cover up at least part of the top line (at least it does on my mini) so the text is closer to the top of the screen than it was in 2.5.2 but I would like to see it back the way it was in 2.5.1.
